My 9 lb Maltipoo loved the idea of this and it kept her very busy for about three days until she began chewing the white plastic on the ends and it became pretty rough. Then in no time at all, she ripped the bone apart and chewed every piece individually. It is now beyond putting back together. The design was flawed but the brushes cleaned her teeth and she enjoyed it. I would recommend this to people that don't have very moderate or powerful chewers.

ProsTeeth cleaning bristles

Busy Buddy

I purchased two of the X-small for my two rat terriers. They took to them right away.

ProsDogs like them. Hope it cleans their teeth.

ConsIf left with the dogs too long, they unscrew the bone and take it apart.

Our babies love them

We travel often in our Motorhome and hate to leave our babies while we're sight seeing. Before we leave we give each baby a bristle bone. When we return they are still chewing on it. They love them

Busy buddy toy awesome for my 6 dogs

I bought this for my Mini Schnauzer puppy to chew. It was an immediate hit. The raw hide is replaceable keeping the toy interesting to my puppy. When my older dachshund found it I had to buy another one for her. My Brussels Griffon has been taking turns on which one he can take. I will be getting more in larger sizes for him and my lab. It is keeping everyone happy and works as a great tooth brush for them. I has also been helpful with my schnauzers separation anxiety. I am sure with continued use this will be nonexistent.

ProsDogs love it. Cost effective way of keeping a toy interesting. As a pet sitter I am always looking for good toys to recommend and give to my clients, this is a hit.

We got this for our yr old yellow lab it easily keeps him busy for a couple of hours

Great way to treat the doggie!

She can't get enough of these. Every night she gets her bone and drops it in front of either me or my wife. There's no ambiguity in what she wants!

Premier Busy Buddy Bristle Bone Toy X-Small

The toy is a great idea. Unfortunately my yorkie didn't want to have anything to do with the toy.

ProsThe bristles inside of the bone are a great idea. I like that a treat inside of the bone where the bristles are located is there to persuade the dog to chew, cleaning the teeth.

ConsThe bone part of the toy is very hard.

Dangerous Chew

My dog was able to take this apart in less than 15 minutes. Luckily, I always supervise my dogs when they have chew toys, and I was able to take the pieces away before he succeeded in swallowing them. PetGuys gave me an immediate refund. I did suggest they remove them from their inventory and refund my shipping expense but no luck.

Keeps dogs busy

My dogs LOVE this bone. They chew on this for hours working on getting the discs off the toy. They really like the taste of the discs. It is safe and has even improved my dog's teeth by knocking off plaque buildup. I highly recommend this for keeping your dog busy and challenging them as well as a treat for their teeth.

ProsSafe, long lasting, challenging, dogs love the taste of the discs

Excellent treat

Bought one to try it out. My Yorkie pups loved it but fought over it. So I bought 3 more - 1 set for the camper and 1 set for home. Oh and if you buy the extra small it's a toy that's actually perfect size for Yorkies!
